Validate and Save Logic in Batch

Hello.
I would like to be able to validate and save logic, bascially, recreate the lgx file, in batch. I have created an SSIS package with an Admin Task and selected validate logic under the task type. The package runs fine, however, the lgx file is not recreated. Do I need to change a property to recreate the lgx file? Is there some other method to create the lgx file in batch?
Thanks, Nancy

One related point that I forgot to mention -- I've never figured out a way to point to the LGF file for the default logic. Since you're not calling it from a DTS package, you can't indicate the LOGICFILE path of default.lgf
So any *SELECT and *FOR in your default logic needs to be evaluated and expanded at validation-time, not run-time.
If anyone's figured a way around that, I'd be curious to hear about it. Of course, I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea performance-wise to validate the default logic every time it's executed, but as far as I know, it's not even an option.

  • Validate and Save data of the current page when tab changing

    Hi,
    Using APEX version 2.2
    We have a multi tab chain form, which each page / tab references a different table. Seperately, when each form is saved, the data is validated and committed to the database.
    The business requirement is to be able to enter data on a form, and then click on another tab, and the page is "validated" and saved, and then the tabbed page is then shown.
    From what I have seen on the forums, pressing a tab, will not validate and process the original form, only perform the page rendering processes.
    I have read the forum thread Re: Navigating to non-current pages for a tab - but have not seen how this works? Is there some dialog missing?
    What we would like to do is call the tab as per usual;
    javascipt:dosubmit('T_PAGE_6');
    But also add the save validation first;
    javascipt:dosubmit('SAVE'); javascipt:dosubmit('T_PAGE_6');
    This would allow the full form validation
    Is this part configurable? otherwise is there anothe solution we can use?
    Thanks
    Jon

    Jon, You essentially want your standard tabs to do nothing but act as buttons. If you can adjust the templates to make those "buttons" look like tabs, you'll have what you need.
    Others will have to advise on how to do that, though.

  • SP 12 upgrade and script logic issue

    Hi All,
    We upgraded to BPC 10 SP 09 to SP 12. The system was stable for some days but after 15 days it seems like script logic has got corrupted.
    Please find the images below, Any ideas what is the problem

    Hello,
    Please clarify what you mean by copy, did you copy the script (text) from one open client session to another or did you use back up and restore to copy the environment or any other method.
    I recommend checking if this is a client or server side problem.  You can verify this either by opening the logic on a different client machine or by checking the logic directly on the server using UJFS.
    If this has occurred on the server level I recommend just rewriting the content, through BPC web client, validate and save again and check if that fixes the problem or if the problem occurs again.

  • My "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes in Logic Pro...

    Hi,
    Wondering if you've have had this issue. My Open / Save as well as any Import dialog boxes in Logic Pro have oddly spaced columns. I resize them accordingly (I prefer Column view BTW), get them looking right by holding the "Option" key while resizing to have all columns the same width...you know, the same procedure you'd use in the finder.
    Anyway, each time a dialog box appears my "Sidebar" column along the left-hand side is like 5 inches wide, and each column to the right of that is very narrow despite my setting it up the way I'd like it to look during the previous Open/Save/Import.
    Is there a preference for this that I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    -dave
    P.S. I'm running Logic Pro 9.1.5 in 64bit mode (32bit mode also exhibits the same behavior).  I'm running OSX Lion, 10.7.2

    I posted a similar post regarding this observation.  It appears that only you and I are the only ones getting this behavior from Logic and Lion.  In all honesty, I don't think anybody cares or no one installed Lion for use with Logic yet.  In either case, it has been widely ignored.
    I too tried resizing, but get the same result every time.  Its not just open and save windows, its the same with all windows.  This gets especially annoying when ad    ding samples to EXS24.  Some people have different work arounds for adding samples to most things, such as the browser side window.  Regardless of any workaround, nothing solves the remaining window space problem.  This window bug is something that should not exist within Logic.  It makes Logic look like freeware.
    For many, Logic Pro X might be the ultimatum.  It might be time to jump ship.

  • How to batch convert pdf to jpgs, crop to trim and save?

    I'm trying to figure out how to take a couple of hundred PDFs, Crop them to trim, then convert them all to JPGs using any of the adobe programs.
    In bridge I was able to Batch convert all the PDFs to JPGs but it wouldn't crop them to the trim also...
    I thought I could use the Photoshop Image Processor to batch action crop and save them again but I always get one of two errors... "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop." or "Please Specify a destination folder."
    I don't know why this is coming up since I have it selecting the folders with the JPGs that I converted in Bridge and saving to another folder..
    Does anyone know if I can do all of this at once? Or how I can somehow get this to work so that II don't have to open,crop and save for each individual file?

    Corel's WP has not / does not use anything of Adobe's to create PDFs.
    With Acrobat installed you can "file - print" WP files to the Adobe PDF virtual printer that is installed with Acrobat.
    Perhaps an OS based "batch" printer job would be possible. Something for you to look into.
    As well, if you have WP installed there may be something WP can do.
    To learn of such you'd want to visit Corel's WP customer support.

  • I have a temp working for me and she scanned all our batches upside down is there a way to flip them and save them without her having to rescan every batch.  We have tried flipping them and doing a save as, we have also tried to flip them and create a new

    I have a temp working for me and she scanned all our batches upside down is there a way to flip them and save them without her having to rescan every batch.  We have tried flipping them and doing a save as, we have also tried to flip them and create a new pdf document but nothing seems to be working

    If the file type is PDF then open them in Acrobat and rotate them via Tools - Pages - Rotate (not via the View menu, which is only temporary).
    You can also do this in an Action, if you have Acrobat Pro, and process multiple files in a single process.

    If Batch Management is active for the materials then use following process;
    First create characteristic in CT04 for Batch Creation Date, under "Addnl data", enter Table Name MCH1 or MCHA (As per Batch Class 022 or 023) and Field ERSDA and save it.
    Assign this characteristics in CL02 in your Batch Class.
    CU70 - Create a Sort Rule and specify the Characteristic of Batch Creation Date and activate "Ascending" indicator.
    Now assign the Sort Rule in MBC1 and keep Selection criteria as "O" for the Strategy type.

  • Action to open and save multiple files in a different format

    Photoshop CS5
    TCS 3
    I haven't used actions before.
    I want and to open all files in a folder of one format and save them to a different format.
    How is this done?
    Thanks
    Rob

    Assuming you have all one format and would like to just open all the files and save as a different format without changing anything...
    One way, using Photoshop and actions and automation, would be to define an action that just does a File - Open then File - Save As to a different file.
    To define an action, in the ACTIONS panel create a new set and a new action, then just record the steps on an existing file. Once done, hit the Stop button.
    Once this very simple action has been defined, use File - Automate - Batch... to set up to run the action on a whole folder full of files.
    You'll likely want to use the [ ] Override Action "Open" Commands and [ ] Override Action "Save As" Commands options.  The latter option allows you to do things like specify the JPEG save quality in the action, and not be prompted for it every time.
    Your Batch dialog may look something like this:

  • Script to open, set dimensions and save

    Hi All,
    I'm a newbie in Illustrator. I'd like to find a way to open a pdf file, set its new dimensions and after that, save the file in .AI format. Is that possible ? How could i achieve this ?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK, so here's another version of a script I posted the other day. Copy and paste into the ESTK or a text editor that will save as plain text. Save with a .jsx file extension. Place it in Adobe Illustrator CS4>Presets>Scripts and restart AI (or you can run it from the ESTK).

  • File Server - File size\type search and save results to file

    I already have a vb script to do what I want on our file server, but it is very inefficient and slow.  I was thinking that a powershell script may be more suitable now but I don't know anything about scripting in PS.  So far the vb code that I
    have works, and I am not the one who wrote it but I can manipulate it to do what I want it to.  The only problem is, when I scan the shared network locations it stops on some files that are password protected and I don't know how to get around it.  If
    someone else knows of a PS script to go through the file system and get all files of a certain type or size (right now, preferably size) and save the file name, size, path, owner and dates created\modified please point me to it and I can work with that.  If
    not, could I get some help with the current script that I have to somehow get around the password protected files?  They belong in a users' HOME directory so I can't do anything with them.  Here is my code:

    Accessing Excel through automation is bvery slow no matter what tool you use.  Scanning a disk is very slow for all tools.
    Since Vista all system have a search service that catalogues all major file itmes like size, extension, name and other attributes.  A search of a 1+Tb  volume can return in less that a second if you query the search service.
    You can easily batch the result into Excel by writ4ing to a CSV and opening in Excel. Use a template to apply formats.
    Example.  See how fast this returns results.
    #The following will find all log files in a system that are larger than 10Mb
    $query="SELECT System.ItemName, system.ItemPathDisplay, System.ItemTypeText,System.Size,System.ItemType FROM SystemIndex where system.itemtype='.log' AND system.size > $(10Mb)"
    $conn=New-Object -ComObject adodb.connection
    $conn.open('Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties="Application=Windows";')
    $rs=New-Object -ComObject adodb.recordset
    $rs.open($query, $conn)
    do{
    $p=[ordered]@{
    Name = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ItemName').Value
    Type = $rs.Fields.Item('System.ITemType').Value
    Size = $rs.Fields.Item('System.Size').Value
    New-Object PsObject -Property $p
    $rs.MoveNext()
    }Until($rs.EOF)

  • Add layers from other psd file and retain text layers (Batch processing)

    I want to batch process a large number of portraits adding text info from the filename (year_name_number.jpg) to existing text layers. I want to make a template psd file containg the correct labeled text layers formatted and adjusted (With bleding effects and more) How can i add layers from an other psd file to the active document and retaining the text layers editable. The place command in PS5 adds the file as a smart object, no use.
    Any ideas?
    I tried the combined action/script way, but no joy so far. Right now i am making the text layers with a action, then calling the script from the action. It works but its difficult to make different templates from adjusting a action.
    The code i am using now (in combination with a action creating the 3 text layers and other grapchical elements)
    var docRef = activeDocument;
    // strip the extension off
    var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "_" );
    if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
                    fileNameNoExtension.length--;
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join("_");
    var myString = fileNameNoExtension;
    var mySplitResult = myString.split("_");
    var textLayer = docReflayers['Year']; // define the existing text layer to a var
    docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
    textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
    T1.contents = mySplitResult[0]
    var textLayer = docRef.layers['Name']; // define the existing text layer to a var
    docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
    textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
    var T2 = textLayer.textItem;
    T2.contents = mySplitResult[1]
    var textLayer = docRef.layers['Number']; // define the existing text layer to a var

    Here is my intended workflow:
    - A set of same size portraits labeled "year_name_number.jpg"
    - A template.psd os same size with graphical elements and text layers (named "year", "name" and "number")
    - A script or action copy/pasting og adding all layers from the template.psd file to the open portrait file, retaining text layers editable.
    - A script (The one i have working) changing the text layers added from the template to text from the filename.
    - A action saving this as a PDF ready for print.
    This way i can process a large number of portraits, add names and other information and save it as a file ready for print.
    I can image it is much easier to edit a template than writing a script or an action creating all the graphical elements.
    And even better, to change this template for different customers/departments/logos.
    Basically i need a way to add layers to an open file using a batch file or script.

    OK I understand what your trying to do and now I do not agree with your conclusion you made in you first append about place being no good for you.  Its is I think a perfect solution for you. I feel you need to address the process from a new angle.
    I am very familiar with templates I use them all the time for collages which I populate with an actions.  However I do not batch this process and my process is interactive.  If you look at what your trying to do from the angle of creating a collage.  You will see what you are trying to do is automate the population of a single image collage using a single template in a batch process.  An example of one of my single image collage populated by one of my actions that has been saved as a jpeg image file.  My actions are played in Photoshop with no document opened.  After my action is play there is a single collage document in Photoshop that contains layers that can be tweaked all text is in text layers the can be edited.
    If I wanted to automate the batch population of a single collage template I think all I would need to know is three thing.
    1.) The location of the input images
    2.) The full Path of the PSD template file.
    3.) The location to store the output  file
    Looking at some of the recent threads in this forum I could almost cut and past the script you want to put  together.  There was a recent thread that had javascript code to process files in a folder and process only a list of file types.   There also was a thread that had a place function in it to place images into the current document or create a new document to place the image into.  The image was read from the web using a URL.  This thread has code to change a text layer.  At first I though you may need to open these image file to get at its meta-data to get the Portrait image Exif creation data.  But see all you need is the Filename for it has the data you want the year and name.  So the function that get the image files from the folder will give you that. The   Script needs to Open the Template PSD file and retrieve the prototype text layers text content  then the scrip needs a loop that get the next image file to be processed from the folder get filename function. In the loop the image files are place into the open template above a place holder layer like the Background layer. Then using the prototype text contents and the filename are used  create the new content for the text layer and then change the text layers content to it.  Follow that up with a save as for the output file.  Once the output file is saved delete the placed smart object layer.  When this loop ends the script will close the document with no save and end. As for the three inputs you need  the script could either have a dialog like the images processor or simply prompt you for the folders and template file.

  • How do I change the 'process' from 2012 (current) to 2010 in Camera Raw and save it as my default?

    I have tried several times to change my default back to 2010 but every time I import a new batch it reverts back to 2012 (current).
    I have tried 'reset camera raw defaults' and 'save as new camera raw defaults'.
    Any help would be fab thanks

    Thanks Yammer - that was exactly what I was trying to do, but it doesn't save it - each time I bring in a new batch or a new image I have to do it again on each image
